LEARNING LABS

Learning Labs are designed to help you (1) be honest with yourself and connect with others; (2) explore what is most real and true; and (3) experiment with new actions and practices that can change your life (and our world).

Yes, I’m interested in participating in an upcoming learning lab in Fall 2024.

Mark’s writing, teaching and coaching are done under the direction of ReIMAGINE, a 501 C (3) non-profit organization supported by the generosity of individual donors; and supplemented by grants, program service fees and honorariums.

ReIMAGINE is a Center For integral Living Wisdom. We create processes for spiritual formation where we can be honest with ourselves and trusted others, try on new practices and reflect on how those experiences can shape the ongoing rhythms of our lives. We help individuals and communities apply spiritual wisdom to everyday life by: (1) Awakening Imagination (2) Creating Practical Resources (3) Facilitating Experiential Learning (4) Empowering Leaders who can teach others.

ReIMAGINE was founded in 2001. USC professor of Philosophy, Dallas Willard, was a major early influence. Over time ReIMAGINE developed an action/reflection method for group spiritual formation called Learning Labs. As a Rabbi/guru, Jesus expected his disciples to learn through new vision AND action, knowing that information alone would not change their lives: “Anyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is wise.” We attempt to recapture this sense of immediacy and action in our approach to spiritual formation, which has been adapted by groups and organizations around the world. (To learn more about this action-reflection method of group spiritual formation see Practicing the Way of Jesus by Mark Scandrette).   

LEARNING LABS: Our learning labs are 5-10 session high commitment groups led by participant-facilitators who guide honest conversations and invite the group to take on transformative practices. Our process is informed by classical spiritual disciplines, adult learning theory, emerging understandings in neural psychology and the revolutionary approaches to learning articulated by bell hooks and Paulo Friere. To learn about our current lab offerings visit our learning lab page.

SPIRITUAL COACHING: We provide goal focused spiritual coaching to individuals and couples. Together we identify questions or themes to work with over our sessions. Some typical themes might be discerning purpose, navigating a faith or life shift, disappointment, facing obstacles to spiritual growth, establishing healthier relationships or life practices, etc. We use our life experiences and knowledge of psychology and spiritual formation to help our clients better understand their reality and take healthful steps. To learn more about our coaching philosophy and to sign up for a free 30 minute consultation visit our spiritual coaching page.

WORKSHOPS AND RETREATS: We create one day and multi day workshop and retreat experiences for organizations, groups and churches. Many of our workshops are based on our Learning Labs topics and books written by Mark and Lisa Scandrette. Some of our more popular topics: The Enneagram and Spiritual formation, Creating A Thriving Family Culture, and The Ninefold Path. We also create bespoke workshop and retreat experiences. To learn more visit our retreat and workshops page.

LEADER TRAINING: We offer professional level training on how to facilitate and design a learning lab. We do this through masterclasses, leader retreats and graduate and doctoral level courses. To learn more visit our leader training page.
